Where is Andres Deza

His daughter is going to play or has already started to play professionally in Spain. That may have something to do with what he chooses to do. He may also want to spend the last year with the '04 group that won the National Title. I have no specific knowledge. I'd also guess that if he wants to lead an ECNL program, he'll have opportunities to do so. Time will tell.

Are you saying there are at least 15 trainers in NorCal with credentials comparable to Deza's? That sounds like a thread that will get a lot of soccer-related responses. Start the thread, and state your case. It will beat talking about COVID.

04' Natty? When was that? Or are you saying that he was smart and had his top 04s play up with his 03s to win the National Title?
 
No offense @crush but you don't know NorCal. There are good coaches up here. You only hear about Deza because he had the platform with the GDA to make noise. Gary Ireland, Albertin Montoya, Shaun Tsakiris, Hugo Perez, Troy Dayak, Jeff Baicher, Omar Cervantes, Juan Porras, Mohamed, and so many others that if were given the opportunity to run an ECNL program, would build great programs.

No offense taken bro. I really dont know. I'm just poking and bored. MVLA and other clubs have awesome coaches I hear too. Deza just seemed to get all the recognition because of the winning.

Why does ECNL matter if Deza has YNT and college contacts? I would think Deza’ network is more important than what letter league his team is in. I’ve heard good things about the above mentioned coaches but I only have a little experience with Mohamed who came off to me as an ass. But, I heard that he’s committed to his kids if they are willing to do the work AND he has YNT and college contacts despite not ever being involved with ECNL and having Mustang ECNL in close proximity.

I think Deza is a better recruiter than Mo, so if Mo can stay relevant without ECNL why can’t Deza?

I agree -- I think he could keep "relevant", but the question is does he want to without ECNL? I think it would depend on what he thinks the GA can/will be, because it has seemed (Old NorCal threads) that he has always been on the lookout for the next bigger/better deal. I don't know what his choices were when Quakes were bailing on the girls side and DA then folded. I am pretty sure he couldn't go back to Force/Thorns and MVLA seems pretty stable and wouldn't want to bring in Deza, but I don't know about other NorCal clubs. Maybe that is why he co-founded the new club

I think '04 Quakes did beat the '03 Solar team that last DA showcase/playoff thing in Florida, December 2019?

Im talking about 2018 u15 GDA champs. I know 2018-2019 04s EQs won.

That link is showing at the end of 2018 the U15 champs were FC Dallas. I don't think they had a playoff structure for the U14 for the 2017-18 season which was the first for girls DA (at least that is what I recall).

I agree that he'll be relevant if he continues coaching, but he was in a very strong position when he had DA and the recognition associated with the National Team - Coaching Staff of the Year, Player of the Year, A National Champion Team, Live games streamed, etc. The reasons to go to him are the same as they always have been, but it helps when the teams are playing in the top league and having success. FYI - Not trying to call the ex-DA better than ECNL. I'd say they were reasonably comparable. Now, there's no doubt that ECNL is the top league.

Agree - no way I see him at Force or MVLA and that his choices were limited when, not so much the DA folded, but when the Quakes pulled the rug out from under the girls' program. What club would have been able to absorb all those girls on short notice? If they could have stayed with the Quakes, even if it was just another year, they could have had a little more time to plan the next move. Maybe Juan Porras, Heath, and Andres make a go as an "independent" like Lamorinda or PSV with Ireland, but my guess is that if he continues, he'll look for something bigger than that.

Yes - I believe that was part of the DA Cup. I don't think they got to finish it the Cup tournament due to COVID. They had 2 or 3 03's IIRC.
